Introduction to GMime

The GMime package contains a set
of utilities for parsing and creating messages using the
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) as defined by the
applicable RFCs. See the GMime web site for the
RFCs resourced. This is useful as it provides an API which adheres
to the MIME specification as closely as possible while also
providing programmers with an extremely easy to use interface to
the API functions.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.4
platform.
